The Government Petitioner.

Culiously enough, it is now the govern
ments turn to appear before the litter
State commerce commission as an appli-
cant for exemption. Commissioner Atkins
of the Indian bureau was surprised to
fiud, when he recently opened the bids for
furnishing and delivering supplies to the
various Indian reservations that in many
instances the charge for Transportation
was twice as high as formerly explained
by the fact that the railroads, instead of
giving lower rate for the long haul, had
raised it to the same rate as that for local
traffic on short hauls. The commissioner
found that this change would make the
total charge for carrying Indian supplies
so much larger than was anticipated that
it would exceed the appropriation for that
purpose.
Mr.. Atkins thereupon communicated his
embarrassment TO Secretary Lamar, and
the latter it is said, went privately
to the commission and asked for a
suspension of the operation of the
law in favor of the government,
so far as the long and short haul clause is
concerned. Upon application to the
railroads, they unanimously protested
against any suspension. They declared
they could not make one rate for the gov
eminent and another for private indvid-
uals. The commission therefore Informed
Secretary Lamar that his petition could
not be granted. What the government
will do under these embarrassing circum-
stances, is an interesting question.
The motive of the railroads in refusing
to agree to suspension of the long and
short haul clause in this case, is plain
enough. 1t is a great triumph for the
railroads to make the government sue
for terms to its own commission. In such
matters, the government ought to be
amendable to the same rules that are
applied to other customers of the rail
roads, Yet as the interstate law has
been suspended for railroad and other
transportation corporations, it might be
suspended for the government upon a
proper showing of need for the exemption

The Present Trade Relations With
Canada

The United States commercial agent at
London, Ont, reports to the state depart
ment condition of affairs which is GER
talnly as serious as anything yet occurring
under the application of the Interstate
law. He states that not only have rail
road rates been so greatly increased that
freight charges from New York to Canada
are as high as, or higher than, those from
England; but the railroads absolutely re-
fuse to furnish any definite rates in adj
vance OF shipment, so that dealers can no
longer estimate what it will cost to shin
their goods, and all goods have to be sent
at the shippers risk" as regards charges
OF transportation.
w here rates are known-which is the
eXception-they are said to have been in
creased from % to 100 per cent The re-
suit is that our inland trade with Canada
Is all in confusion, and Canadian mer-
chants are suffering as severely as our
own. An instance is mentioned of Can
adian merchant who abandoned his pur-
pose of buying $4,000 worth of California
goods because the roads could not inform
him as to their charges. Canadian bust
ness men complain that freight charges
on long halls now consume all the profits
that Canadian merchants have been ac-
customed to make on American goods, so
that they can not any longer afford to pur-
chase in this country.
The greater part of all this trouble arises
from the obstinacy and perversity of the
railroads, who are hanging back with all
their might, for the very purpose of max
ing the Interstate commerce law odious.
If they would only make genuine effort
to arrange rates among themselves, in
stealing of extorting local rates for long
hauls, the complaints of business men and
shippers would stop at once. The fault is
not with the law, it is with the railroads.

OF all the disgraceful and contemplate
methods which have ever been used to get
the better of political adversary, or to in
Jure political cause, forgery is certainly
the lowest and meanest Yet the forged
letter plays no small part in the history of
modern politics, especially in this country
and in England. Take, for instance, that
disgrace to American politics, the Morey
letter, by which in 1880 the democratic
national committee tried to fasten upon
Mr.. Garfield the authorship of letter
favoring Chinese immigration-a letter
which, as everybody now knows. the re-
publican leader never wrote nor thought
of writing. Minor instances might be
mentioned.
Fortunately, however, forgery in poll
tics has never proved highly successful
method. 1t has a distinct tendency to re-
coil upon its perpetrators. Such was the
case with the Morey letter; such is likely
to be the case With the forged Parnell
letter. 1t is praG4 billy impossible to fas
ten upon man bysuch means sentiments
or declarations which his character dis
proves and which he himself discaims
The means of uncoverng trckery
of this sort are so effective that
it is worse than foolish to attempt it.
The English experts think that they
have discovered the author of the Parnell
letter They have at all events, proved
beyond question, that Mr.. Parnell did
not write it. The result is likely to
damage the English tory party. Public
opinion, all through England as well as
Ireland, is up in arms against this out
rage. The deliberate, calculating, under
handed way in which the whole matter
was managed by the tories, makes it
intolerably odious as piece of political
trickery. 1t is perhaps too much to hope
that one of the effects of the affair will
be, to put stop to the use of forgery in
politics. But only cranks will resort to
it, hereafter.

Dangerous Doctrine.

In one of DR.. McGlynn's recent public
addresses he said
The heaven of heavens is the Lord s. So
hath he given the earth 10 the children of
men in spite of the laws of man, and
care not who made them. The teachers or
the preachers who would rob men of what
God has given them are sacrilegious
thieves [uproarious applause Il they are
engaged in sacrilegious robbery that is
more sacrilegious when they presume to
speak in the very words of God. No vested
right, no law of man can deprive the child
of beggar born in a howell tonight of the
same right to the bounties of God which
The child has that is born in a palace TO in
herit a throne Cheers The essential
truth that lies at the bottom of the labor
problem is found in the beginning of the
American Declaration of Independence,
with the addition that life cannot be sup
ported without access to the materials of
which the earth is made, and that there
fore God has given to all the inallenable
right TO this access. Poverty comes be-
cause men cannot get work, and men can
not get work because in most civilized
countries the bounties OF nature have
been monopolized by the few, and the
many go a-begging for the boon of work
ing.
